What A Time To Be Alive
The energy distribution over Drake’s albums is shown in this plot. It is visible that his albums do not have a set energy distribution, it is quite varied. The albums ‘Her Loss’ and ‘What A Time To Be Alive’ seem to follow a balanced distribution, whereas ‘Thank Me Later (Int’l Version)’ has more of a build up of energies.
This plot shows the computed average danceability and the average energy. The general trend of this plot is that albums with a higher average energy tend to have a lower average danceability. The lower energy songs tend to have a higher daneceability. It is interesting to see that a single outlier for this would be the Take Care album. This album in particular contains the lowest average energy and the lowest average danceability. The album Thank Me Later has the highest average energy and has the lowest average danceability. More Life on the other hand has the lowest average energy and one of the highest average danceability. The majority of Drake’s albums seem to have an average danceability between 0.6 and 0.75, with their computed average energy ranging from 0.5 to 0.6.
The dancergy plot showed us that Thank Me Later is the album with the highest energy and lowest danceability, whereas the album with the lowest energy and a high danceability is More Life. This plot shows the distribution of keys between these two extreme albums. It is visible that More Life makes use of all the keys found in a pitch class. Thank Me Later on the other hand mainly uses the keys in the range of 6 to 9. What is noticable is that most of the More Life songs are in keys 1, 7 and 11. Keys 1 and 11 specifically are not to me found in Take Me Later.
The album What A Time To Be Alive showed to have the highest danceability, therefore it would seem fit to see the danceability distribution over the songs found in the album. The all of the songs have a danceability over 0.7, with the exception of Diamonds Dancing. This song ranks the lowest on the danceability bar with a value of 0.5, which is ironic given the song title.
A chromagram represents the time against the pitch classes. It shows the measurement of the energy per pitch class. This chromagram shows the analysis of Drake’s currently most popular song Rich Flex. The normalisation vector used here was chebyshev. The choice for this is simple: because Spotify also does so. In my opinion it is better to keep the method of analysis as close to Spotify’s handling as possible. What is clear from this visualisation is that the C#/Db note is found throughout the majority of the song. Notes G and F#/Gb show more presence after around 120s. The A#/Bb note is hardly detected, while the B note shows a little more presence, but not much. The rest of the notes are quite spread through the song.
